Promise and Peril: Stellar Contamination and Strict Limits on the Atmosphere Composition of TRAPPIST-1 c from JWST NIRISS Transmission Spectra

Promise and Peril: Stellar Contamination and Strict Limits on the Atmosphere Composition of TRAPPIST-1 c from JWST NIRISS Transmission Spectra

Attempts to probe the atmospheres of rocky planets around M dwarfs present both promise and peril. While their favorable planet-to-star radius ratios enable searches for even thin secondary atmospheres, their high activity levels and high-energy outputs threaten atmosphere survival. Here we present...
